I picked up this game and was a little worried how it would compare to the PS3 version. Well, I can tell you this game is loads of fun and well worth the price. The levels are fairly large and the graphics are incredible. Plus you can make levels yourself and also download other's levels. The controls on this game are also spot-on. So far I feel this is one of the best game for the PSP. I was justing thinking about selling my PSP, not now.

I bought the PS3 last year mostly for the blue-ray player. Little did I know that this grandma would become a huge fan of LBP. I play with other SackBoys & Girls from all over the world. With over 1.6 million user created levels as of Dec 2009, the game has no end. But what to do when traveling? Now you can take LBP with you on your PSP.

This version does not have the depth and detail of the PS3 version, but the fun factor is still there. Great new levels, cool music, and portability rates 5 stars. Built on the smaller PSP platform, there is no multi-player function. You can still create your own levels and publish them to the web. You can download other player creations to your PSP and play them whenever & wherever you want (no need to be online). I found it much easier to create on the PSP than the PS3 as there are only 2 planes of play instead of 3 and you are only limited by your imagination.

I highly recommend LPB for the PSP and PS3. My grandkids have the WII, XBox and many games.. but it's LBP they want to play! So Santa is bringing it to them this Christmas. Now we will be able to explore new Sack Worlds and create our own levels together. They will also learn how to co-operate to make it through Sack Worlds, create their own costumes, decorate their pods (bedrooms), and play online with other Sack Kids. They will learn physics (and not even realize it).Bolts, winches, bombs, gas, elastics, string, stickers, stone, wood, glass are just a few items that are used to create levels (Video training included). This game is family fun at it's best and LBP for PSP just lets you take it on the road!

I pre-ordered this game, and received it the 17th.

I beat it the next day.

However, the game never ends, as you are always re-playing the levels, accessing things you couldn't before. And then the reason why I bought it. Making levels!

Anything is possible, with switches, gears, pistons, and multiple materials.

Overall, 5/5.

In short, this game is finally a good reason to own a psp. I own Little Big Planet for the PS3 and it is actually the only game that I have not sold off out of boredom. I originally was worried that this game would be a horrible downscale of the mother version, but I am happy to be wrong. All the levels are new, lots of new skins and custom clothing. Same ability to create and download new content. In all, just think of this a a brand new game. Still looks great in comparison to the console version as well.

The game itself is very fun. It is basically the Sony version of Super Mario Brothers (but fun). Customize your character with colors, materials and clothing and solve platforming levels using physics and fun. Online content is great as well. True, a good 80% of it is bad or just rehashed good stuff, but 20% of thousands makes a good number of additional content. Still blown away buy the state machine calculators that people have made.

Nothing seems to have been lost in this version, though I'm not sure if multiplayer is available. All of your moves are there, grab things, ride things, ride on the back of things and grab a cannon to shoot at a dragon chasing you. All good stuff.

If you love the PS3 game, then this is no contest. Great game and worth every penny. If you are a person whom does not own the PS3 version, no worries, this plays like a stand alone game that will promise many hours of entertainment.

I have wanted to play Little Big Planet ever since I saw the ads on TV for the PS3 version. However, I don't have a PS3 and couldn't justify spending so much money to play just one game. (Also, when I game it's either on my PC or PSP) So naturally I was thrilled to find out they had come out with a PSP version, but first I decided to play the demo. After that I knew I had to have this game in one version or another. (UMD or download) I'm not really good at this type of game at all, which is why I normally stick with RPGs, but about a week and a half ago I decided to put some time aside and download LBP from the Playstation Store (which took about 2 hours, btw). I was happily surprised at how much fun it is. The controls are really simple, which is great for someone that doesn't have the best coordination. The puzzles are a lot of fun to figure out once you get used to a certain "rhythm." The graphics are nice, even on an old PSP system. The costumes are ultra cute, and the game-play is not so tedious that it gets frustrating like a lot of games do. I can't comment on the custom level building as I am still playing through the story mode. Overall, I'm very happy I decided to buy LBP (PSP). I hope there will be a sequel. <3

this game is amazing in all aspects. It is fun, addicting, it can be easy if you simply want to make it through the levels (though not always too easy!) or hard if you wish to collect all of the items (which is also sometimes fairly simple). I got lucky and bought this game on a sale on black friday, but for the rest of you, the only downside to this game is the price. It is well worth it though because this game is truely never ending. Once you complete the levels that come with the game you can go on the internet and download thousands of levels that other psp users make. Each level downloads in about 3 seconds and are just as fun as the levels that come with the game. You can also create your own levels and play them online! This game is just fantastic and I highly reccomend it to anyone who wants to get a kick out of their PSP again. FIVE STARS!

I'm one of those people who played this game prior to owning the PS3 version. Actually, the reason I bought the original PS3 game is because of this. Alongside Chains of Olympus and Peace Walker, this is an essential PSP game to own. Either of the 3 can be argued to be the absolute best on the platform. In any case, I wouldn't be bothered by anyone who said that this is the best game for the PSP. I already reviewed LittleBigPlanet for the PS3 and mentioned that this game does certain things better than that version. With the lack of multiplayer, this game was forced to be an excellent single player experience, and it is.

The controls are very tight. On the PS3, I found myself sliding around a tad too much after making a long jump to a narrow platform, so I usually fell off and died. LBP PSP eliminates that problem completely. Jumping is more precise.

While the levels don't have 3 fields of depth and tons of things going on in the background, the creative themes and puzzles throughout the levels overshadows that. Each creator curator has a certain theme and 3 or 4 levels to correspond to that theme (Alps, Middle Eastern, Hollywood). On the PS3, each level seemed completely random and only a few had recognizable themes. The music in this portable version meshed better with the levels than the PS3 version. Overall, the levels offer more of a challenge, and there are twice as many puzzles as the PS3 version. You aren't always just running and jumping like Mario.

As far as the graphics go, of course they aren't PS3 caliber. But, it looks and plays so much like the PS3 version it's scary. I know people praise Ghost of Sparta and Peace Walker for their graphics, but IMO LBP PSP is the real graphical showcase for the PSP.

One downside to the game are the load times. There are some loooooooooooooong load times before each level. I've found that they vary in length. Sometimes they are 30 seconds. Other times they are around the 1 minute mark. It makes me wonder why some of the game data couldn't be installed like Peace Walker.

In conclusion, this game is a must have. If you don't like the PS3 version, you may like this more surprisingly. I know that sounds crazy, but at first I didn't like the PS3 version because I thought this was so much better compared to LBP PS3's single player levels. It's still true that I enjoy more levels on here than the PS3 original. If you need to know more about LBP ask me in the comments or read my review of the original. Thanks for reading!

LittleBigPlanet is one of the most innovative and creative titles to hit the PlayStation 3 in recent years. Thanks to its rather simplistic control scheme, the good news is that it really does translate very well to the small screen.

The bad news is that it suffers from some of the same problems as its larger cousin: there are times when the jump mechanic is difficult to master and there are times when the number of stunts you have to pull off to keep your sackcloth fanny from the fire have you reaching for your bucket of four-letter words. Level creation is also fairly difficult and awkward (something I hope improves in Little Big Planet 2).

For those of you new to the idea, LittleBigPlanet is a complete playground of the imagination. It pits you as the controller of Sackboy (a little burlap 'poppet') in a series of levels that each revolve around a theme: for example, one level is all about cars and racing. The mechanics of this world involve pulling, pushing, and/or tipping objects back and forth in order to platform your way to the end of the level. Puzzles are rarely more complicated than finding a switch and pulling it...and then the creativity starts to go off the scale.

The added dimension to LittleBigPlanet is that your little poppet can be dressed in all manner of fashions. You can find, unlock, and even download a lot of different bits of clothing, 'skin' (fabric) colors and costume pieces. You can not only design your own levels, the amount of levels out there available for download is mind-boggling. You won't find as many to choose from for the PSP, but you will still find more than enough to keep you occupied until you are completely sick of LittleBigPlanet.

If you loved LittleBigPlanet for the PS3 and want to take it on the go, the PSP version is a fun substitute. You won't be able to take your PS3 pieces or levels with you, but on the other hand the levels here are different from the ones on the PS3, so you won't find yourself doing the exact same set of levels. If you're new to LittleBigPlanet and want it portable, the PSP version will make you happy, but at this point you should probably consider moving up to the PS3 version of LittleBigPlanet 2 if you're willing to play at home.

I have an Xbox, but my friend has a PS3 and we plaid this at his house, I love that this game is now on the psp because now i can play it anywhere, the only thing that is that it does not have that many levels like the big brother but it will do on the psp...a must have if you loved the original game on the ps3...

i love little big planet, and this game is so fun! i anticipated it would have the same levels as the PS3 version, but it has all new levels and adventures. my husband and i bought this for our son, but i have played the levels more than he has! definitely a great buy and a great addition to our video game collection!!
